More on Lakeland from the National Catholic Register.
Fidelity of ´Voice of the Faithful´ Group Comes Under Scrutiny Again
July 02, 2003 / NEWTON, Mass. — New questions about the fidelity of the reform group Voice of the Faithful have arisen following a one-day meeting June 7 of 45 Boston-area Voice affiliates.
According to a June 7 press release from the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts, keynote speaker Paul Lakeland, professor of religious studies at Connecticut’s Fairfield University, **told the Newton gathering that Catholics were “suffocating from structural oppression” and advocated the abolition of the College of Cardinals, the ordination of women as deacons and lay participation in the election of bishops. **
**And, Lakeland predicted, future priests would consist of “some married, some not; some straight, some gay, some women, some not.” **
The Catholic Action League said Lakeland’s comments serve as “further compelling evidence of the hypocrisy of Voice’s claim of fidelity to the Catholic religion.”
In an interview June 18, Lakeland confirmed the Catholic Action League’s reporting of his comments was substantially accurate. But Lakeland said he was expressing only his own opinions in his keynote address — which dealt primarily with the future role of the laity in the Church — and not the opinions of Voice of the Faithful.
And, Lakeland said, the comments singled out for criticism do not challenge Church doctrine but rather Church practices that are open to change.
However, Lakeland acknowledged during the interview that he remains a proponent of the ordination of women as priests, even though Pope John Paul II definitively ruled against women priests in his 1994 apostolic letter Ordinatio Sacerdotalis (On Priestly Ordination). And, when asked if he agreed with the Catechism of the Catholic Church’s statement that homosexual orientation is intrinsically disordered, Lakeland replied, “No, I don’t.”

Hello, my family is in the Buffalo Diocese, and my wife and I have a meeting with the Office of Ministry and our Parish Priest to review what happened at the Paul Lakeland conference.
We are also in contact with the news to make sure what was reported was in fact correct. **WE MUST **defend the faith and our Holy Father.
I wonder how many other Dioceses have similar problems?
God Bless,
Stephen

We are in the Buffalo Diocese and read that Saturday article and were extremely upset at what we read. We have a meeting with the Office of Church Ministry and our parish Priest to get to the bottom of why Mr. Lakeland was invited to Christ the King Seminary.
Our Bishop is new to the Diocese and we are told was very upset over the events. We need to defend our Catholic faith and our Holy Father from all attacks. That is what this was, an attack on Catholic doctrine. Mr. Lakeland has a history of not wanting to follow the Magisterium.
We wonder how many other Diocese are infected with liberal thoughts and teachings?
We need your prayers as we locate the truth on this matter.
